Love In The Time of Alternate Facts

Intro: Step right up, tune in, don’t touch that dial— The circus is in town, and it’s running wild. Headlines spin, the punchlines sting, Welcome to the show—let the laughter ring. Verse 1 Weird we have a reality TV president Who destroyed half the people’s house Comedians on late-night shows Give us the real news now Verse 2 While mainstream news is either for or against And nobody wins in the end The people in charge of vaccines Don’t believe in them, my friend Chorus: It’s comedy, tragedy, all on the same screen, Laugh so you don’t cry at the things we’ve seen. Truth’s a joke, and the joke’s on us, In the land of the free, who can you trust? Verse 3 The people in charge of education Want to dismantle it all The people in charge of justice Weaponized it against political foes Verse 4 Ice is a hot mess Attacking people in the streets Truth feels like fiction And fiction’s all we see Chorus: It’s comedy, tragedy, all on the same screen, Laugh so you don’t cry at the things we’ve seen. Truth’s a joke, and the joke’s on us, In the land of the free, who can you trust? Verse 5 Love in the time of alternate facts Love in the time of alternate facts We’re searching for something real In a world turned upside down Chorus: It’s comedy, tragedy, all on the same screen, Laugh so you don’t cry at the things we’ve seen. Truth’s a joke, and the joke’s on us, In the land of the free, who can you trust? Outro: So here’s the curtain call, the final jest, In a world upside down, we just do our best. When the credits roll and the laughter fades, We’re all just actors in the parts we’ve played. Spoken: End of scene.
